Okay so I basically had that idea after I asked for ideas xD I hope you like it.
You were not yourself lately, you had too many things on your mind and work was the only place where you could escape the hell you had to call home. The man your parents had set you up with, your now husband, was treating you like a piece of trash. It first started with telling what to do or where you had to go, then the insults began, being called “worthless” and “whore” were things you´ve been used to buy now. Always had you been scared of him even through he never raised his hand against you…well at least till last night…
“Hey (Y/N)! Are you alright? You look a bit pale.”, a familiar voice pulled you out of your thoughts. Your best friend Bard had made his way to the small bar that you were working at, he usually wouldn´t come in the middle of the week but he hasn´t seen you in a while and that worried him. “Yeah...I´m fine.”, you mumbled and gave him a small smile. “Are you sure? I haven´t seen you in a while...” “Oh I just been busy lately…” “(Y/N) come on I know you better than that! What’s wrong? You know you can tell me everything…”, he slightly raised his voice. “I…It´s just…not here.”, you said finally. “Let´s meet up after I finished here and I´ll explain everything, okay?” With a nod he left and went back to his usual table in the back of the bar.
Some hours later you finally finished her shift, stepping out of the bar you met Bard standing there. “So where do you wanna go?”, he ask. “Can we go to your place? Please?” “Sure.” The walk was silent but not uncomfortable. As they arrived Bard made sure his kids where asleep then they sat down in the kitchen. “So tell me what wrong with you lately?” he ask as he made some tea. “I don´t know how to tell you…”, was all you said. “You know that my parents made me marry that guy…” he sat down a cup in front of you, sat down and look deeply in your eyes. “…and from the very first he treated me badly I mean it was bearable…but then it got worse…he was insulting me all the time a-a-and last night…” you started to cry, he instantly reached out for her, pulling her against his chest and you winced at his touch. “Sorry…”he whisper wanting to let go of you but you pulled yourself even tighter against him. “…he t-tried t-to rape me…and when I fought back…he started punching me..” you said crying harder. He gasp, wrapping his back around you this time more gently. “You stay here...I´m not letting you back to that monster.” He slightly pushed you away. “Come you can take my bed.” He said walking you into his bedroom. “But where are you gonna sleep then?” “I´ll take the floor…” he said taking some blankets and a pillow. “but…” “No buts…it´ll be fine.” He smiled at you. And for the first time in forever you felt you stomach flutter...yes you´ve been in love with him some time ago but then he got married and you were okay with jut being his friend. But he always been the only one that made you feel loved. You smiled slightly back then crawled into his bed which smelled like him making you feel safe enough to fall asleep.
In the middle of the night there was harsh banging on the door. You jolt awake, seeing Bard was already awake with a worried look on his face. “Stay here I´ll handle that..”, with that he left the room. You heard screaming and something shattering, so you got up only to find Bard´s kids on the stairs. “Go back upstairs!” you whisper and them immediately obeying. You continue to walk back into the kitchen. There you saw Bard pushing your now ex husband out of the door. “I´ll kill you if I ever see you around her again!”, he screamed after him and slammed the door shut. You never saw him like that before and it kinda scared you. As he turned around and noticed you his face softened instantly. “I´m sorry I didn´t wanted you to see me like that..” taking a step forward to you till he stood in front of you. “It´s just the thought of some one hurting you is making me so damn angry…I´ll never let anyone treat you that way ever again.” “Where am I going to live now? I mean I can´t go back to my parents and…” “Shhh it´s okay you can live here..”, he gently took your face in his hands making the butterflies in your stomach go crazy. “(Y/N) you helped me so much after my wife died and now it´s my turn to help you…and I know that may be odd to say now after what you´ve been through but…I´ve been in love with you for a while now…it´s okay if you don´t feel the same I just wanted you to know..” he let go of your face and you immediately missed his touch. His back was now turned to you. “But Bard I do feel the same about you…ever since we were teenagers.” You whispered facing the floor. You could feel him lifting up your chin before pressing his soft lips to yours. Giggles filled the room as you too separated. “Does that mean that (Y/N) is our new mommy yet?”, Tilda asked. You just smiled happily looking up at Bard. “Uhm… I think so…”, he smiled back at you. Shortly after you were surrounded by the three kids hugging the both of you. And you knew that now your life finally was complete.
